H - Homoerotic

Have you ever noticed the comedic potential of the word
“homoerotic”? No? Then allow me to enlighten you.

It occurred to me some time ago that simply by adding
“homoerotic” to the title of a movie, TV show, band, video game or anything, you
instantly transform it from mundane to hilarious. After discussing this with a friend, who
shall be named as Zoid to prevent stalking, we came up with a large number of
examples. At the risk of running this
joke into the ground, here’s a list of some of the funnier ones we came up
with:

Video Games:

Homoerotic Gears Of War

Homoerotic Tomb Raider

Homoerotic Final Fantasy

Homoerotic Civilisation

Bands:

Red Hot Homoerotic Chilli Peppers

Homoerotic Sons And Daughters

Scouting For Homoerotic Girls

The Homoerotic Feeling

Movies:

Mr Poppers Homoerotic Penguins

Homoerotic Monster’s Inc.

The Never Ending Homoerotic Story

The Homoerotic Human Centipede

Jim Carey: An advocate for gay penguin rights.

TV Shows:

Inside Nature’s Homoerotic Giants

Dad’s Homoerotic Army

Mrs Brown’s Homoerotic Boys

Harry Enfield and Homoerotic Chums

That’s enough for now.
Please contribute some more if you can think of any.

On a slightly different note, what would be the opposite of homoerotic? I suppose it would heteroerotic, which probably sounds more deviant and other-worldly than it actually is. I'd love to describe myself as an exotic heteroerotic pan-dimensional love invertebrate. In fact, that would look fantastic on my CV.

P.S. This post was inspired by a conversation I had with a friend of mine, Zoid. Some of the above suggestions are his, but I can't remember which ones.
